POSTORIAL
Looking At Germany Today
“The most alarming news out of Germany since the end of World
War II.”
Thus did Dr. Joachim Prinz, president of the American Jewish
Congress, describe the results of a recent survey showing that the
youngest generation in Germany today is growing up knowing little
about the Nazi era except that “Hitler built the autobahns and did
away with unemployment.”
Dr. Prinz’s comments on. the shocking ign'orance of German youth
about the evils of Nazism are significant, not only for whiat he says
h/ut for who he is. A former rabbi in the Berlin Jewish Community,
Dr. Prinz was one of the first Jewish leaders in Germany tfo under-
stand the menace of Nazism.
For these reasons, we take pause at Dr. Prinz’s warning that this
frightening news from Germany is “far mlore dangerous” than re-
ports of the recent renewal of anti-Jewish incidents in the Reich.
“The small anti-Semitic groups in Germany may not be important
at all,” Dr. Prinz says. But he points out that German anti-Semitism
and German nationalism were Worn in German schools, and that
much of the support and indeed the leadership of the German Nazi
movement came from the universities. What is there to prevent the
rise of a new form of Nazism and a new super nationalism, where
there is such ignorance of the crimes which Nazism committed
against the civilized world?
It seems clear that the failure of the young generation of Ger-
many to understand the Hitler regime is a reflection of the opinion
expressed at the family table as well as the result of deliberate in-
fluence exerted by former Nazis who have penetrated into the edu-
cational systepn. It is a declaration of moral bankruptcy that calls
for immediate and concerted effort on the part of German leader-
ship and all men of good will who believe that only a moral rege-
neration dan instill the confidence of the nations of the world in a
new Germany.
If Germany is bent upon the creation of a living and vital demo-
cracy, the single m|bst important educational goal must be the inter-
pretation of contemporary history—the cruelest pages of which were
written by the German people. This is the challenge that faces the
German people and their leaders. This is the touchstone bf Ger-
many’s future, regardless of the outcome at Geneva.

Being a native South Caroli-
nian, I was particularly distressed
at the way Milton Friedman sioft-
peddled Mr. Blatt’s typically
Southern views. Sol Blatt inci-
dently, is the speaker of the
South Carolina House of Reprer
sentatives, and has been for as
long as I can remember. Mr.
Blatt’s statements, which drew
criticism by Mr. Friedman can be
summed up in -one of them “. .
There are dangerous inclinations
am'ong some of the Jewish peo-
ple in America today, out of the
golodness of their hearts, to esta-
blish themselves as a minority
force in the tragically exagge-
rated storm of political propa-
ganda which surrounds and con
fuses the Negro question in the
South”. Mr. Blatt’s point is that
there are two opposing factions
concerned in the segregation con-
troversy, and the Jew, should he
seek to enter into it, should ally
himself as a member of one of
these groups—not as a represen-
tative of the Jewish people.
While I agree with Mr. Blatt
concerning the Negro problem, my
(point o:C Contention with The
Texas Jewish Post is not that I
oppose the Post for its 'obvious His first task in the new job

Tw° DIPLOMAS
the TJP is expected to be the
voice of the Jewish pdople. As
such, it has no licence to sanction
opinions concerning non-Jewish
political issues which are not
shared by the greater majority
of Jews. I sincerely believe that
the good this or any Jewish or-
ganization does to ease the segre-
gation prbblem is insignificant,
but the strain and ill feeling ge-
nerated is much more than insig-

GEORGE LINCOLN ROCKWELL,
the American-styled Hitler, want-
ed to sue the B’nai B’rith chapter
of Arlington, Va. This week, the
Arlington Circuit Cburt threw
out his libel suit. Rockwell has
been distributing anti-Semitic
hate literature—until the B’nai
attacked with a $50,000 libel suit.
He charged his reputation had
been damaged by B’nai B’rith,
and that he wasn’t anti-Semitic
at all. He was merely anti-Jew-
ish.
A SCIENTIFIC EXHIBIT in At-
lantic City depicts the history
and development of the first
pharmaceutical products from Is-
rael which are now on the Ame-
rican market. The American Me-
dical Association is sponi^oring
the exhibit as part of its annual
meeting. The drug, Bitupal, is star
'attraction. It is a distilled bitumi-
nous asphaltitle obtained from the
Dead Sea. It was first investigated
20 years ago as an agent in treat-
ing skin diseses. Now, Bitupal is
an effective ointment and cream
for treating eczema, neuroderma-
titis and allied ailments.

TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
nifidant to those Jews who do not
agree with them. Surely we Ame-
rican Jews can find worthier ends
for our energy than trying fio
help a race, who in the South, is
doing so very little to help itself.
